1、 Introduction
With the development of manufacturing and technological progress, high-frequency pipe making machines are playing an increasingly important role in production efficiency and product quality. However, traditional pipe making machines require frequent replacement of molds and pipes during the production process, which not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency. In order to solve this problem, quick change technology has emerged.
2、 Case background
A Guangzhou client's enterprise mainly produces various metal pipe Products, including high-frequency welded pipes. The enterprise has a traditional high-frequency pipe production line, but frequent changes in molds and pipes during the production process result in low production efficiency. In order to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, the company has decided to introduce high-frequency pipe making machine quick change technology.
3、 Application of Quick Change Technology
The quick change technology introduced by the enterprise mainly includes the quick change mold system and the pipe conveying system. The rapid mold replacement system greatly shortens the mold replacement time by designing quick connection and disassembly mechanisms. At the same time, the pipe conveying system adopts automated conveying equipment, which can automatically adjust the position and speed of the pipes according to production needs.
4、 Application effect analysis
Production efficiency improvement: After introducing quick change technology, the production efficiency of the enterprise has significantly improved. The mold replacement time has been reduced from 30 minutes to less than 5 minutes, and the pipe conveying speed has also been optimized.
Cost reduction: Due to the reduction of manual operation time and mold wear, the production cost of the enterprise has been effectively controlled. Meanwhile, the introduction of automated conveying equipment has also reduced labor costs.
Product quality improvement: The introduction of quick change technology makes mold replacement more precise, reducing product quality problems caused by improper mold replacement. At the same time, the stability of automated conveying equipment also improves the overall quality of the product.
5、Key Innovations and Achievements:
Independent module: The mold is designed as an independent module for quick disassembly and installation.
Standardized interface: Standardize the connection interface between the mold and the machine to ensure fast and accurate docking.
Pneumatic or electric locking mechanism: using pneumatic or electric locking devices to quickly lock and release molds, reducing mold changing time.
Hydraulic system: When a large clamping force is required, a hydraulic system can be used for rapid mold change.
PLC or CNC automatic control system: through programming logic controller (PLC)
6、 Conclusion
The application of high-frequency tube making machine quick change technology has brought significant production efficiency improvement and cost reduction effects to enterprises. Through practical case analysis, it can be seen that quick change technology not only solves the problems of long mold and pipe replacement time in traditional pipe making machines, but also improves product quality and production stability. For similar enterprises, introducing quick change technology would be a worthwhile choice to consider.
